Checked Alex Brown Twitter and apparently he was very excited about this as it is his former teammate..
He's going to pick up his homeboy, i guess we got a lil clique in the Saints locker room now.

So does this mean Evans isn't healthy? I can't see us carrying 2 FBs...?

That's what I was thinking

Too bad if that's the case. We missed Evans badly, and I was excited to get him back this year.

Man oh man, I hope Evans is going to be healthy for the season. He really is a key contributor to the Saints. Maybe his recovery time will be longer than expected and we are bringing him in as insurance to learn the system. Either way I don't see Payton carrying 2 fullbacks on the roster. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see them bring in an UDFA who we could stash on the practice squad to bring up if necessary.

No way, wow so what is the word on Evans.

Solid, high character, veteran role player. Another nice signing.
